    Qualifies as propaganda because its their side of their argument on a topic.
    I feel that this is beneficial because it makes you realize that its wrong for a baby to have to be breastfed in a bathroom.
    They are selling the message by making you feel bad, or making you think of it as being you, the one eating in the bathroom.
    appeal to pity.

    This beneficial msg qualifies as propaganda because it is trying to shown us viewers that being shamed to not breastfed in public isn't okay. The propagandist is "selling" the message by trying to have the viewer find disgust in eating in the bathroom. This msg displays plainfolk and pity because some of us can relate to having to breastfed in the bathroom and we feel bad for the women that have to.

    This message qualifies as propaganda because it seeks to make us disgusted by the idea of eating in a bathroom, and then having the viewers relate this to breastfeeding. It's beneficial to some, harmful to some. It depends on your POV. The point the propagandist is trying to get across is that breastfeeding is a natural process and shouldn't be publicly shamed. The propagandist is, "selling" the message by relating the baby eating in the bathroom to make it more personalized to the viewer by putting them in that situation. This form of propaganda appeals to pity because it shows what mothers have to go through with their babies.

    This message qualifies as propaganda because it is trying to persuade society to not shame women for breastfeeding.
    I think this message is beneficial

    The propagandist is selling the message through having the reader think about themselves eating dinner in a bathroom and then make the connection that they would not want to eat in the bathroom so why should babies have to in public

    The emotional appeal the author uses is association because the reader associates the feeling of having to eat in a bathroom to realizing many babies do because many women are shamed for breast feeding in public. The author also uses appeal to pity because the reader would feel bad for the baby after reading this

    this message qualifies as propaganda because it is trying to make parents/ mothers feel bad for nursing their baby in the bathroom

    middle, it isnt really either. its a little gross to feed a baby in the bathroom but when you are out in public people dont want to see you nursing your baby espically when your eating

    they are showing us that it is gross and that an adult wouldnt eat in the bathroom why should a baby

    associations shows an ad to the public to get the message across to stop feeding babies in the bathroom

    The message qualifies as propaganda because it evokes emotions when we see someone eating in a bathroom that also gets their message across.
    This message is beneficial because it gives a voice to babies and mothers who are looked down upon when breastfeeding in public and are forced to breastfeed, in dark and closed off spaces, like a bathroom.
    They are selling the message by evoking emotions in us and causes us to rethink our opinion.
    An emotional appeal that is present is the appeal of pity, when we see this women in the bathroom eating, we are filled with pity and disgust for the women, then reading the message we then also feel bad to babies who are forced to eat in these circumstances.

    This message qualifies as propaganda because they are using journalism to get the word out that breastfeeding is public is a normal thing and women should not be shamed for it. This is beneficial because when someone sees this they will be disgusted that a woman is eating in the bathroom and then they can relate it to the baby having to eat there. this propagandist is using the newspaper to sell the message. the emotioal appeal is self-esteem because a woman shoudnt feel like she has to take her baby to the bathroom because some people think its ¨unhumane¨ to have your breast out in public.

    This qualifies as propaganda because its telling how eating in the bathroom and breastfeeding in the bathroom are the same thing saying why u would feed your baby in a place of urinating. This is very harmful because there are so many diseases and bacteria in the bathroom and its not sanitary . The picture is showing a lady eating in a bathroom saying that you wouldn´t want to feed a baby in there. This is an example of Appeal to pity because we feel bad for the babies that have to be fed in the bathroom, when it is very dangerous to.

    This is Propaganda because it is trying to make you think of breastfeeding in a normalized way. This is beneficial to mothers everywhere. The propagandist is using a powerful image to make you feel a certain way. The emotional appeals are pity and plainsfolk because you are made to feel bad for the mother and her child, but they are also making the baby relate to you.

    This is a very beneficial ad. It shows that eating in a gross, dirty bathroom wouldn't be okay to eat in for adults, so why little children? It's selling the message due to the fact that babies are more susceptible to disease in bathrooms than adults, yet breastfeeding in public is shamed. It is appeal to pity because you will feel bad for the child if it's forced into a dirty place to be fed.

    This message qualifies as propaganda due to the strong emotions that it conjures. This propaganda is selling the message by appealing to self-esteem and social fears. They are "selling the message" by incorporating the life of a child and the objections a woman has to ace when she simply needs to feed her baby. This advertisement conjures strong feeling that either agree or disagree with the subject at hand. Due to the wide recognition of this subject, this advertisement is beneficial due to the use of our emotions and the use of visual aid.

The propagandist is selling the message by using babies and their humanity. This is emotional appeal to pity because it makes people feel bad for the mothers and their babies. It also implies the baby will have less humanity if fed in the bathroom.

    This qualifies as propaganda because its saying that breast feeding should be normalized so a mother does not have to go into a public bathroom and breastfeed her child. I feel like this is beneficial because this is so wrong on so many levels. The message that the protagonist is trying to get across is that babies are human to and they should be able to eat out in public like every one else not in a bathroom. The emotional appeal that is expressed in this piece is appeal to force because they say that you CANNOT BREASTFEED IN PUBLIC it doesn't really give them a choice. I would also say appeal to self esteem would work too because moms think to themselves if they don't feed their child until they get home they may think they would be being a bad mom or you would probably feel bad by feeding your child in the bathroom.

    The ad makes you feel pity for the woman in the bathroom. It tries to make you see what they a baby would be going through when they are being breastfed. The ad could benefit the cause and hurt it at the same time. People could maybe start to feel pity for babies because of the way that the ad is displaying, other people may feel that there are better places to breastfeed like at home or in car just not in public. This ad appeals to pity.

    This is propaganda because you always see or hear something about people breastfeeding in public on how it should be in a bathroom. This is beneficial because it shows people that its natural to breastfeed in public just like it is for us to eat in public. Its being sold because its something interesting and makes sense and makes you think about the situation more. The emotional appeal is social fears. This is because the mother breastfeeding might feel rejected by others in public.

    Shaping your perception on breast feeding in public.Its beneficial because it saying that if a baby has to eat in a bathroom then an adult has to eat in a bathroom. The adults don't like eating in bathrooms they like to eat in public with everyone else. They are using emotion to disgust the image of eating in a bathroom. Emotional appeal they propagandist is using is pity and social fear because no adult wants to eat in a bathroom, they don't want to see a baby being breastfed in public and no baby should eat in a bathroom stall.

    This qualifies as propaganda because it panders the breastfeeding mothers' insecurities and anxieties. This piece is absolutely beneficial because it's advertising women shouldn't have to hide any more to feed their children and that they shouldn't feel insecure about a natural occurrence. This propagandist sells the message by expressing that no one would make a women eat in a bacteria filled bathroom, so why should we make an infant do the same. The propagandist is emotionally appealing to people's pity and to social fears because it's trying to make people feel bad for the infants sake.
